NEW STAMPS in the Etsy Shop NOW! Winners announced here...

Hello friends!
So much to share today!!  
First up, THIS SUNDAY I am starting a 31 Days of March: Beginning Bible Art Journaling and I hope you will join us over on the GodblessyourART blog !!  Nothing to buy or sign up for and my goal is to keep it so you can use what you currently have on hand to get started in this very fun and thoughtful way of going to Scripture! 

Today we have lots of stamps brand new to the etsy shop in stock and ready for you to purchase!
First up is one of our 2"x2" Single Scripture Stamps ($3.99) that is currently back in stock (it is one of our best sellers and a favorite verse of mine!):

I created this canvas panel using this stamp a while back:

 Next up is a BRAND NEW 2"x2" Single Scripture Stamp ($3.99) to Inspired Stamps:

There are 2 His Little Ones stamps ($4.49 each) that we are just now putting into the etsy shop:

 The first is His Little Ones: Boy Praying and the second I colored above next to him is His Little Ones: Girl Praying.  Here they each are on some card boxes I created a while back (the stitching and verse are from our BIND AND STITCH  stamp set, also in the store):

We have a BRAND NEW His Little Ones: Praying Girl 2 ($4.49) that is in the etsy shop now too:

I colored her in a few different color schemes so you could see her differently!


What fun!!  I'm so excited about all we have going on and hope you are too!

31 Days of March: Beginning Bible Art Journaling

Hello friends!
I'm so excited to share this year's 31 DAYS OF MARCH segment!  This year's is called 31 Days of March: Beginning Bible Art Journaling!  We will go through what Bible Art Journaling is, materials to use (you have all you require already at your home if you have a pen and a bible), how to carefully observe the bible text and understand it, and I will walk you step by step through Psalm 119 with lots of examples and free printables for you to use throughout the month.  I thoroughly enjoy this process and my prayer is that you will too!

This will begin on March 1st (THIS SUNDAY) over on my mixed-media blog: www.GodblessyourART.blogspot.com
This is absolutely free and there is nothing to even sign up for...the blog posts will stay up as in years past so you can refer to them as often as you like!

**Feel free to copy/paste the above photo to your facebook pages, groups, or blogs where you feel others would benefit and have interest!**

I'll be back Thursday evening with the Design Team's 2x2" Scripture artwork!!
Please leave a comment below or email me a note (inspiredstamps@gmail.com) if you plan to pop over to see the Beginning Bible Art Journaling segment!  It's always nice to know who is stopping by!!

New STAMPS in the etsy shop!! + Giveaway!!

Hello friends!
It NEW STAMP FRIDAY (as every Friday is in our etsy shop!) and we have 2 brand new stamps to share with you today.  First up is the one you see above we call BIBLE ART JOURNALING: BIBLE STUDY PHRASES.  I use these in my Bible and in Notes/Journals to help guide me with my study.  Here is a sample of it in my Art Journaling Bible over a passage in Luke 17 I studied in an inductive Bible Study I'm taking:

These stamps have really filled a need and draws attention to important things as I study what God is saying in the text, what the meaning is, and what type of application I am to take from that (be it something I learn about God, man, or a warning/instruction as in this case). 

We also have another 2x2" Single Scripture Stamp set now available in the online store:  COLOSSIANS 2:9:

GIVEAWAY: Win a Stamp that YOU have the idea for!!

Hello friends!
I am in the process of designing some new HYMN LINE stamps!!  This includes the HYMN LINE GIRLS (like our Hymn Girls: Caring Friend above) and the HYMN LINE SHAPES ( leaves, churches, mushrooms, flowers, etc). 

One of the fun things I like to do is to give YOU our fellow-stampers the opportunity from time to time to participate in the creation process!  And this week is one of those weeks!

Here is how this Giveaway works:
1. Go to our etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/GodblessyourART and look up all the CURRENT HYMN LINE stamps we have.
2. Then come back to this post (or any post this week) and leave us ONE idea  (only 1 idea per day, per household will be considered) on what YOU'D like to see us make into one of our HYMN LINE stamps.  For example, a HYMN GIRL with a puppy might be one you'd like to see that we don't have.  You'd leave that as your comment to this post.
3.  For another opportunity to leave your idea, visit our Facebook page and leave a comment under the FB post requesting ideas! (One idea per FB post, per day, per household please!). **Open to US and NON-US mailing addresses---everyone's invited to participate!**

IF we choose YOUR idea (we have a number of stamp designs already in the works, so we will choose one we do not have planned already or have in the store currently), we will create a stamp using your idea and send you 2 stamps absolutely free of charge once we get them in!  That will give you a free stamp and one to share with a friend!

**Let your friends know about our giveaway and tell them to let us know YOU sent them in their comment. If we choose their idea, we'll send you a free stamp too as a thank you for sharing us with your friend!  We will choose at least 1 idea (potentially more than 1!)**

**YOU HAVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT FEBRUARY 25TH  to get your comments here or on our facebook page in order for your suggestion to be considered**  Winners will be announced here on the blog on February 26th's New Stamp Release post so make sure you check back to see if you win!**

I'm excited to see what ideas you come up with!
Blessings,
Antoinette
